My new Air Kentucky T-Shirt...

I didn't know this until recently, but between 1979 - 1986 there was an airline that used Louisville, Kentucky as it's hub. It was called Air Kentucky. If you saw the movie, "The Life Aquatic", that was the airline that Owen Wilson flew for. (Terrible Ky dialect for him, by the way. More Tennessee hambone than Kentucky bluegrass, if you ask me.)

Anyways, I found a store online that sells "Air Kentucky" logo stuff. So, I'm going to work this into the budget and treat myself to this T-Shirt. Check it out...



If you want to order one for yourself, click on this link. (On the sidebar of the site that this takes you to, there's all sorts of merchandice that you can buy with the A.K. logo on it. Even stuff for ladies, if you're so inclined.) This logo is a facimile of the logo from the actual airline. Wes Anderson designed his own logo for the movie and you can buy one of those by looking around on the internet. If that sort of distinction is important to you. Personally, I looked at both of them and I like this one more.

For those of you keeping track, this is the second "Life Aquatic" related t-shirt that I've bought for myself. I wear my "Team Zissou" t-shirt with pride. I've got to cool it on Life Aquatic wear, though.

It's becoming a habit now.

I'd also like to get one of those groovy "Gettin' lucky in Kentucky" shirts that I've seen in a movie or something.



Apparently, I'm only comfortable expressing pride in my homestate in the form of ironic t-shirt messages.

Cheers,
Mr.B
